Add live web search to n8n, Make, or Zapier workflows

n8n users: install the native Superhighway community node — one install, five operations (search, news, images, read page, research), no manual HTTP wiring. Make/Zapier users: one HTTP call with a Bearer key.

n8n — community node (recommended)

The n8n-nodes-superhighway package adds a native Superhighway node to your n8n instance — no HTTP Request wiring needed.

1. Go to Settings → Community Nodes → Install.
2. Enter: n8n-nodes-superhighway and click Install.
3. Go to Credentials → New → Superhighway API, paste your API key from /pricing (free, 1,000 calls/month).
4. Add a Superhighway node to any workflow. Choose an operation: Web Search, News Search, Image Search, Read Page, or Research. Enter a query (or use an expression like {{ $json.topic }}). Execute.

The node outputs parsed JSON — wire results[0].title, results[0].url, etc. into the next step. Pair with a Code node to format as Markdown:

const results = $input.first().json.results;
const md = results.map(r => `- [${r.title}](${r.url})\n  ${r.description}`).join("\n");
return [{ json: { markdown: md } }];

n8n — HTTP Request node (manual)

If you prefer not to install a community node, the HTTP Request approach works too:

1. Add an HTTP Request node.
2. Method: GET · URL: https://superhighway.walls.sh/search
3. Query Parameters: add q → your search term, limit → 5
4. Authentication: Generic Credential Type → Header Auth · Name: Authorization · Value: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Same pattern works for /news, /images, /scrape, and /research.

Make (Integromat)

1. Add an HTTP → Make a request module.
2. URL: https://superhighway.walls.sh/search?q={{ your_variable }}&limit=5
3. Method: GET
4. Headers: add Authorization → Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
5. Parse response: enable Parse response. The results array is available in subsequent modules.

Zapier

1. Add a Webhooks by Zapier → GET action (or use the built-in Code by Zapier step).
2. URL: https://superhighway.walls.sh/search?q=SEARCH_TERM&limit=5
3. Headers: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
4. Zapier parses the JSON response — map results__0__title, results__0__url, etc. to the next step.

Common automation use cases

Getting your API key

Go to /pricing, enter your email, and get an API key instantly — 1,000 calls/month free, no credit card. Paid plans start at $9/month (50,000 calls). The key works in any HTTP tool as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY.

Prefer autonomous agents or wallets instead of API keys? See the x402 pay-per-call guide.
